One Very Proud Big Sister

Last weekend Ky and I ventured to Ames to watch my sister Ashley as she competed in the Miss Iowa Teen USA Pageant. She had put alot of time and effort into this pageant and it finally came to life. We had such a fun time, and I will admit I was an emotional wreck as I have never been so proud of her. For the past 16 years of her life she has spent her time looking up to me as her older sister. She has always been the little sister who wants to be just like her big sis. And last weekend the roles were definately reversed!!! I had such a blast! Here are a few pics of my beautiful sister!

One Very Proud Grandma


This weekend flew by! Friday was spent with family, as my great grandma passed away Thursday morning. I know its okay as she is in a better place now, but will definately be missed. Saturday I went shopping for yet again more wedding stuff, I swear everytime we go I think Im done, and yet I keep adding more things to my shopping list. Today we went to church and spent the afternoon cleaning our garage for the winter. A BIG THANKS to future in laws and brother in law for helping us move things and clean that messy thing out!!! Tomorrow will be another day with family, as we have my grandmas funeral and plan to spend some time running errands for wedding things afterwards. I can hardly believe tomorrow is November 1st and the wedding will be here in 20 days, itll be here before we know!!!
